Christmas Cards with Guest Designer Mona Pendleton

Hi there! Today I'm so happy to share with you a trio of Christmas cards featuring fabulous designs from the following sets: Ornamental Birdcages and Fern Fronds that I created featuring wonderful Gina's Designs chipboard pieces. In case you missed my post HERE, every Wednesday during the month of October, I am honored and grateful to have been invited to join along as a guest designer on the Gina's Design blog showcasing some of her amazing chipboard products that may be found in the Gina's Designs online store.

I couldn't help but make three because both the Ornamental Birdcages and Fern Fronds contain so many beautiful pieces. Each birdcage and fern frond is so unique and elegant. All chipboard designs were embossed using embossing enamel.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Please be sure to visit the other posts on the blog for some outstanding creative inspiration and if you are looking to add some great quality chipboard designs to your craft stash, please be sure to visit the Gina's Designs store!

Snow Fairy and Mitten Cards by Dianna

Hi everyone Dianna here with two snowflake cards, just in time for the Holiday Season!

 The Snow Fairy card is my inspirational take from a card I saw on Pinterest, which I loved!
The Fairy is from Gina's Designs Garden Fairies.  When I saw this particular fairy I thought she looked like a ice fairy, so  I used Sparkling H2O's on the fairy and snowflakes. 

 I painted one of Gina's trees with white acrylic, then used Copic Markers and white pearl chalk ink to give it a wintery affect.  I punched with a Fiskar 1/2 inch and 1 inch punches on clear velum and a white metallic paper. 

 I then distressed all of the circles with a silver chalk ink and then  I distressed the teal paper with light brown ink and cut the branches off the tree. 

 I laid out the branches and circles to look like snow globes. Then placed the snowflakes around the card like the fairy was creating them.  To finish off the card I used rhinestones on the snowflakes and through out the card.

I picked up an small envelope maker from Taylored Expressions and decided that it would be a great on the front of a card.  I decided to use some of the pink paper from Crate Paper called Bundled Up.  

I papered mittens from Gina's Designs Winter Shape Set.  I layered Stickles on the plain chipboard snowflakes to create the vintage look on the snowflakes.  I then printed out the "in the meadow" saying from the computer but a giftcard would be great in that slot as well. Rhinestones and a teal bow complete the look.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today!

Two Christmas Cards by Dianna

Hi Everyone Dianna here with two Christmas Cards.

The first card is Santa with a tree, wreath and word Believe from Gina's Designs.  The background paper is "Beauty" from Authentique which is not actually "Christmas paper", but has a victorian look to it, so it works well with card.  The Christmas tree chipboard is covered with music paper that had been distressed with brown ink.  I used Stickles on the edges and to create the internal branches.  I used Sparkling H2O's on the Believe and Wreath.

I used copic on Santa, the bear and rocking horse. 

Santa's fur is a Snow Writer with Stickles daubed on it.  A white fur ball was used to finish off Santa's hat. 

The Second card's background is layed with scrap paper.  The bottom layer of vintage is a Christmas word stamp on tea stained paper.  The Jingle Bells is a stamp and was stamped on a torn piece of scrap card stock.  The Gina's Design Music Note was painted gold and then daubed with brown and gold Stickles.  The Robin Stamp was colored with copic and the snow is from a snow writer.

Christmas Card by Monica

This week our design team is going to be sharing Christmas projects!  We know everyone likes to get ahead on these and we figured when better than July to start just that!  

Merry Christmas in July everyone. I want to share q quick card I made using Gina's Designs doilies.  I embossed the bottom piece with a Darice folder and colored the tree with my copics.  I will admit I am not a copic pro but the more I use them the better I get.  I know its obvious I am in love with these doilies.

I used the doily as sort of a backdrop for the centerpiece, which is a globe and has snow in it.  Once again Happy Christmas in July everyone!!
